Bioterrorism and Science Policy Implications
Reviews concerns about possible terrorist use of lethal viruses as biological weapons, in light of July 2002 report in the online journal Science Express by a team of scientists, led by Dr. Eckard Wimmer, describing methods to manufacture the poliovirus using DNA ordered through the mail. Discusses possible legislative remedies, including increasing oversight of DNA suppliers, limiting access to the genetic information of select pathogens, and regulating the publishing of information potentially helpful to terrorists.
